TUCSON, Ariz.—Democratic candidate for Arizona governor Katie Hobbs has declined to debate her Republican opponent, Kari Lake, ahead of the Nov. 8 general election, with her campaign telling local media she won’t argue with a “conspiracy theorist.”
Instead, Hobbs, who is Arizona’s secretary of state, requested a “town hall-style” format in which each candidate would sit for a 30-minute interview in a controlled setting.
